ACHARNAI, Latheas St. - 2008

Acharnes, Latheas Street. Dora Georgousopoulou (B’ ΕΠΚΑ) reports on the discovery of a cemetery. 10 pyres, 3 inurned cremations and 4 tile graves were excavated (Fig. 1). Some of the pyres contained ashes and remains of bones (Figs. 2, 3). Pyre 9 also contained a fragment from a terracotta epitegis. Out of the 3 inurned cremations one contained few bones and 2 lekythoi, and another was contained in a pithos (Fig. 4). An unguentarium was found in one of the tile-graves. Finally a tile-built pithos and two deposits containing rubble and few Classical pottery sherds were also found in the area.
